I have been trying to print from my freebsd 4.0 box to this printer and keep getting the dreaded staggered text..i.e. !"#$%&'()*+,-./01234 "#$%&'()*+,-./012345 #$%&'()*+,-./0123456 I followed the directions in the printing section of the handbook and set up my print filter as such #!/bin/sh # # # Treat LF as CR+LF: # printf "\033&k2G" || exit 2 and that file is executable. [jason@welsh]$ ls -al /usr/local/libexec/if-simple -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 211 Aug 26 12:53 /usr/local/libexec/if-simple my /etc/printcap contains # lp|local line printer:\ :sh:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: :if=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple: # # Sample remote printer. The physical printer is on machine "lphost". any suggestions? regards, Jason -- ======================================================================= | Jason Welsh jason@welsh.dynip.com | If you think there's | | | good in everybody, you | | http://welsh.dynip.com/ | haven't met everybody. | ======================================================================= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
